Claudia Gabarain
Blog coordinator
Claudia manages the web sites for the Bank's East Asia & Pacific region and added this blog to her brood in early 2008. She's a native of the beautiful town in the picture and had to move to Washington, DC, to stay away from the tempting, delicious food of her homeland. Her discovery of East Asian food in recent years has somewhat defeated the original objective, though.
She actually does like DC quite a bit, where she landed after working a few years in the online edition of The Miami Herald.
